The National Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims is a non-profit hereditary society dedicated to perpetuating the memory and fostering and promoting the principles and virtues of the “Pilgrims.” The Society was founded on December 21, 1908 and has been in continuous existence since then. Its motto is “Land of our Fathers! Ours to Preserve. Ours to Transmit. Liberty in Union; Now and Forever.”
A male or female, without regard to religion or place of origin, is eligible to join our Society if he or she is a direct descendant of a “Pilgrim.” The term “Pilgrim” denotes any immigrant who settled before 1700 within the territory which later became the forty-eight contiguous states of the United States of America.
The Society is very proud of its over one hundred years of working to spread the word about the incredible individuals who came to this New World prior to the year 1700 and who built the foundation upon which rests our great country. The objectives of the Society are primarily educational in nature. With 33 current branches and more than 1500 members, the Society actively supports its educational purpose by means of national projects, publications, and the local participation of its members through meetings and projects of its numerous, virtually nationwide branches.
